  1. What the... poo? Not sure if you're only kidding or if you really don't know - warning track power
  2. They're facing a talented but struggling NL Central team trying desperately to clinch a playoff spot despite an injured ace and an underperforming supporting cast; the resemblance is certainly there, no? To the 2008 Cubs? Not really. The only part that's really even close about that comparison is the injured ace part, but the situations really aren't comparable even in that specific case.
  3. I was hoping both teams would win or both teams would lose today, so I'll take this outcome so far.
  4. That's exactly what they've been doing for the past week, isn't it? Those damn Cubs. hey this ain't over pal, anything can happen!!! They're the Cubs after all1!!!
  5. That's exactly what they've been doing for the past week, isn't it? Those damn Cubs.
  6. I was worried he'd struggle today on normal rest after coming back off the break with a 110 pitch outing. If he was gonna suck, I'm glad he got knocked around quickly and had a fairly short outing.
  7. Um... just friggin great
  8. LaTroy is such a douche. I love how they are wearing shirts saying that they were "killed," basically implying that they're done. Nice.
  9. A string of luck? Only a true fanatic would've believed in JUNE that the Cubs would be in the playoffs? What? I love when people who know even less about sports than sportswriters write about them.
  10. That's incredibly smart... I agree.
  11. The rumor around Wrigleyville "people" is that the guy's plan ultimately is to get out of any agreement with Budweiser and tear the thing down and install one of those giant LCD billboards in its place. He'd sell out advertising and, supposedly, attempt to lease out space to the Cubs to use it as a JumboTron. Don't shoot the messenger. Just what I heard from people that know people.
  12. LOL You JUST got home? I'm guessing he just got up... after passing the hell out whenever it was he got home.
  13. Wait, what? I must've missed something... when did this come out? viewtopic.php?p=1959649#p1959649 From there on down...Just rumor though.
  14. I'll go on a hunger strike
  15. Are the Cubs moving to Gotham City?
  16. Yea, God forbid some of us are actually fans of the team, regardless of where they play.
  17. Speaking of shirts, any not-so-secret pics of the Division Championship gear? I don't really buy the stuff anymore (got a shirt in 03 and 98) because it's sort of pointless, but it's kinda fun to see the stuff.
  18. I know you're kidding, but saying what you hope happens = sense of entitlement?
  19. That's going a little far. It really just doesn't matter how much worse the rest of these teams are than us. Not in 5 or 7 games. It's not a complete crapshoot, but each series is still fairly close to being a coinflip. I hate to beat a dead horse with that point, but you hear so many people talking about how much of a failure it would be if they don't pull it off this year that it just needs to be said. Don't set playoff expectations too high and try to enjoy the ride. Easier said than done, though.
  20. Randy Bush = Cubs assistant GM But I agree that there's little chance it'll happen.
  21. I was at the game last night and I was in complete disbelief last night when I saw Howry coming in. I could not believe it. A close game, no less. It's not often I get that pissed off over a pitching change. I really, really don't know what to say about that at this point.
  22. LOL! The Lastros lost... nice, so 2 more wins against the Blewers and we have the division! Oh it's so great... how nice it will be to rub it into the face of the ever-tiny Brewers Nation if we clinch at home against THEM. SOOO PERFECT! Do you really need to continue to uses these [expletive] and completely unfunny names when talking about other teams? You've been doing it for the last week or so (at least as I can remember) and it's getting quite annoying. I agree the names are pretty lame, but that was kinda mean, lol.
  23. The only way you have to choose between the two (Pie and Fuk) is if the Cubs decide to carry 12 pitchers (SSR does a great job breaking this down about 5 posts up). I would be pretty shocked if that is what the cubs decided to do given the breaks between games give the bullpen more rest than during the regular season. I would be too. I'm just passing on what I saw in the paper. Can't figure out why I can't find it online.
  24. Yea, no. That's not happening.
